tinted glass

what was the first year for tinted glass in our trucks as a option or standard?

Good question, fordman... I've been really curious about the green-tinted glass. Was the smoke-color tint even a real option?

Also, if anyone has it, does it feel like you're driving a coke bottle?

most of the glass shops only sell the tinted anymore, i had the one on a 72 f600 wrecker replaced a couple years ago and they told me the clear were being discontinued because nearly everybody wants the tinted glass now and also the new glass is slightly thinner than the old factory stuff in our trucks.

I just bought new tinted glass through LMC. They still offer clear and Tinted in the catalog. Not like it mattered to me since I will tint mine anyways.

The factory offered the 'tinted windshield' or 'tinted all around' option(s) on all '67-'72 trucks.

I have it in mine and I don't even notice it.

Cool... what do you guys think about putting the green tinted in the back, and regular on the sides and front?

i had considered a slider in the back. i am unsure at this time.

I had both my side windows shot out and and both my wing windows were busted so they could get tools. Well when I went to get the side windows they told me no more clear in my 69. Then I got the wing windows they said we can't get them anymore but I can cut them out of tempered glass do you want them in green?

Hell yes. Dragon Electric is my company and the Head dragon should be green.

You can order custom smoked glass for our trucks thru Boss Auto Parts I got it for my 72 doors and vent they are nice I think it's like 37% block of light just legal enough
